Printing & Exporting

Overview

There are two ways to export a map:

• Print to PDF — Editable print view with customisable overlay options
• Export as Image — Export current map view as it appears

Example PDF:

Printing to PDF

The PDF print preview overlay lets you define and resize the print area; a shaded area indicates the legend’s reserved space, and grid lines can be turned on for the final export (not in the real-time preview).

To print a PDF:

1. Click Map in the sidebar
2. Click Print

3. Adjust the map view and zoom

📄 Note

The shaded areas represent the print area and the space reserved for the legend when toggled on.

4. Use the sidebar to configure Paper size, Orientation, Grid lines, and Legend.

📄 Note

You can lock the print area to view the map at different scales while maintaining the print area. Click Centre to return to the locked print area and scale.

Exporting as Image

The current map view is captured to a PNG image. Unlike Print to PDF, you must arrange the map to the desired extent in the main window before attempting to export as image.

To Export an Image:

1. Arrange the map view to desired area and zoom scale.

2. Click Map in the sidebar.

3. Click Image.

3. Right-click on the image and choose Save Image As.
